Fall has arrived bringing very cool temperatures and a lot of moisture. The road crew working on Hwy 323 has not worked very much in the last couple of weeks. The road has been closed on a couple of occasions to keep big trucks from mudding down and getting stuck in the unpacked dirt.
We are experiencing below normal temperatures. Like 40 degrees below normal.
We were saddened this week when we had to put Puppy down. She grew up in a loving family that kept her in a fenced yard, in the house or riding down the road in a vehicle. She had no fears and didn't know danger. She loved the ranch and enjoyed running and playing with Jake. She ran toward a pick up, veered to the right and somehow connected with a tire. We were given two choices. One was to put her down or the second was to take her to the other vet in town. She would be in intensive care for days, go through surgery and who knows what all. She would have been 9 in January and was showing signs of arthritis. The practical and human thing to do was to put her out of her misery.
Since Puppy was Swan's dog, we did let him make the final decision. Putting Puppy to sleep was a hard call for Swan, but he new that it was the right choice.
She always met me at the door when I came home for lunch and would sit beside my chair at night to be petted. She is missed.
Chip buried her on the hill where his childhood dogs are buried.
